The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 873

Peter’s eyebrows knitted themselves together as he stared intently at the woman inside the room. Layla was screaming like a mad woman, and her words slurred themselves together. When she came to the topic of Sean and Tania, a murderous look immediately appeared in Peter’s eyes. It was so intense that even Andrew, who usually did not pick up on such things, noticed. “Mr. Lennon…”

“Wait outside!” Peter said with a wave of his hand. Andrew immediately opened the door, and the person inside the room raised their head in response to the door opening. When Layla saw Peter, she took several instinctive steps backward. “Peter…”

“We meet again,” Peter said, his lips curving upward. Though his features were arranged into what seemed like a smile, it looked terrifying. Layla could not stop herself from shuddering, regretting to herself why she had chosen this day to visit Nancy at the hospital. If she had not gone… “M-Mr. Lennon, I… Why did you bring me here? I’m Jordan’s wife! You can’t…”

“Hah!” Peter scoffed. “Jordan Langdon? You think I’d be afraid of him?”

Layla could not stop that next shudder as well.

How could Peter ever be afraid of Jordan? Although the Langford family was also considered an influential family in Brookville, their level of influence was far from that of the Lennon family. It was also why the rest of the Langdon family had insisted Jordan marry her when he did not want to because she had the support of the powerful Hoffman family. Add that to the relationship between the Hoffman and Lennon families…

“That’s not what I meant, Mr. Lennon. I just… just…” Layla gulped. “I really don’t know why you’ve brought me here!”

Fear still washed over Layla every time she recalled what happened four years ago, and now, all her hairs were standing on edge.
